[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I were both in GT programs in our respective public schools growing up (from 2ng grade - by IQ cut off). I am not sure it impacts my parenting choices directly (or my husband's). Our kids are very young. The most important thing to both of us is reading - and we try and convey that to our children. We also talk to them like they are regular people, encourage questions, explain things and let them know that learning is fun. I guess we will have high expectations for them as I believe they are both very bright (just like every other parent:). One thing is that I don't ever want them to be ashamed of being smart...many kids i went to school with felt that way and only ever wanted to be cool and fit in. I want them to be proud of being smart (not obnoxious) and proud of who they are - whatever that may be. [/quote]
